"Hopefully I'll be back on the pitch in the next couple of weeks and ready to rock and roll again," Hogg, who has 55 Scotland caps, told BBC Radio 5 live.

"In the warm-up, I kicked the ball and I felt as if somebody had stabbed me in my hip. It was a bit frustrating because I was just coming back from a long-term shoulder injury... and had to start back at square one.

Hogg also missed all three of British and Irish Lions' test against New Zealand last year after suffering a facial fracture against the Canterbury Crusaders and then had a shoulder complaint.

"I've never really picked up any injuries – to end up get a fractured eye socket, have to get your shoulder operated on, it has been a bit frustrating," he added.

Scotland will kick-off their Six Nations campaign against Wales in Cardiff on Feb. 3.
